'Gripping' Mail on Sunday on Fear of Falling 'Cath Staincliffe gets
into the heads of ordinary people and makes them extraordinary' Ann
Cleeves on Fear of Falling A dead baby. A missing mother. A cradle
of secrets. From the author of the Scott and Bailey series, Quiet
Acts of Violence is a novel about family and betrayal, injustice
and poverty, the ties that bind and those that break us. __________
Has the woman killed her child? Is she at risk to herself? Someone
in the neighbourhood of old terraced streets has the answers. But
detectives Donna Bell and Jade Bradshaw find lies and obstruction
at every turn, in a community living on the edge, ground down by
austerity and no hope. A place of broken dreams. Of desperation.
And murder. When a stranger crashes into Jade's life, her past
comes hurtling back, threatening to destroy her and the world she
has carved out for herself. Donna struggles to juggle everything:
work, marriage, kids. It's a precarious balancing act, and the rug
is about to be pulled from under her. ___________ Praise for Cath
Staincliffe: ''This powerful, often harrowing story will move you
to tears' My Weekly 'Harrowing and humane. A real knockout' Ian
Rankin 'It's always exciting to see a writer get better and better
and Cath Staincliffe is doing just that' Val McDermid 'Powerful,
complex and utterly gripping' Sunday Mirror 'An intelligent and
emotionally engaging moral workout' Daily Telegraph 'Complex and
satisfying' Sunday Times
